Harvey and his party were warmly welcomed by the warden as soon as they got off the ship, Harvey was still a little puzzled by the warden's warm attitude, and the warden was also surprised when he learned that Harvey was Alexander, who imagined that the author of "The Count of Monte Cristo" should be a middle-aged nobleman with an extraordinary temperament.

Harvey's outfit is not bad, but now standing in the crowd can barely stand out, and after a short period of surprise, the warden shook Harvey's hand excitedly.

"Are you Baron Harvey Adrian whom Count Henrietta mentioned? I have always admired your talent since I read your book The Count of Monte Cristo, you are much younger than I thought, it is a great honour to meet you in such a place, and I sincerely hope to discuss literature with you and discuss the problems of The Count of Monte Cristo. "The warden's right hand shook a few times on his chest before he bent down to salute respectfully, and this etiquette was generally used to express admiration for the nobles, commoners to nobles, and nobles to royalty.

Although Harvey inherited the title of baron, he was not much higher than the warden in front of him in terms of nobility.

Harvey took off the black gentleman's top hat on his head and put it on his chest and bowed, "You are so humble, I have your permission to come to this strange island, please allow me to thank you, Warden Scott." Harvey had already learned his name in the letter.

Jared stepped forward and handed Harvey a box of valuable jewels carefully selected from Avery's jewelry store.

Prison Warden Scott grimaced, shook his head and said solemnly: "I can't accept your gift, Mr. Adrian, you need to understand that your coming here means more to me personally, and if you can, I would like you to sign my novel." ”

Harvey was surprised: "You mean The Count of Monte Cristo?" ”

"Yes."

"Oh~ Of course, but this gift was originally prepared by us for the warden of Scott, if you refuse to accept it, then we will have to throw it into the sea, it should be yours. Besides, we have disturbed your prison during this time, and this is an apology from all of us. Harvey still insisted on giving this gift out and dealing with the nobles, no matter how polite the other party was on the surface, it might be a different picture in private.

Prison Director Scott hesitated for a moment but accepted it.

The rest of the troupe, led by Jared, began to work together to finish filming the Count of Monte Cristo in prison as soon as possible, and no one wanted to stay on this desolate and cramped island for a while, and it was expected that the filming would take half a week to complete.

Harvey followed Warden Scott to his office to explain the purpose of his trip, the troupe and his party belonged to the eye-catching type in the downtown area, not to mention that in this desolate island, Warden Scott also didn't understand Harvey's purpose, the group was old and young, men and women, but no one's face was as relaxed as a sightseeing outing, and no one would choose to come to an isolated prison outing.

······

Inside the warden's office, the walls are clearly projected with images from ultra-high-quality photographic crystals.

Harvey said: "As you can see, this is a new photographic technology in the kingdom that will change the structure of people's daily lives, just as books affect people. My goal this time was to shoot a similar film, originally written as "The Count of Monte Cristo", so that the technology could be popularized. ”

"Great invention! It's no wonder that even the royal family is willing to open the door for you, but I have lived in isolation for a long time, and I don't know what has become of the outside world, especially the bustling Norton, and maybe I won't have the opportunity to see this technology spread to the world. Warden Scott sighed sadly, and after a pause, his tone became elevated again: "So, are you going to use this technique to shoot The Count of Monte Cristo, the scene where poor Captain Edmund is imprisoned?" ”

"Yes, it's a great fit, both in terms of atmosphere and topography."

Hearing this, Warden Scott stood up excitedly, and his smile became stiff as he thought about it: "I admire your attitude towards pursuing art, as you said, the reef prison is very suitable, and it is not the best choice." ”

"Why do you say that?"

Scott Prison Warden shook his head with a wry smile: "You also know what kind of prisoners are held here, there are murderous pirates, there are brutal murderers, there are also some special status of power personnel and political criminals, here is a cage with many hungry crocodiles, and your theater troupe members are like a piece of fresh meat outside the fence." ”

"You're saying it's not safe here?"

"Oh, Mr. Adrian, of course it's safe here, but you need to understand that it's not the cages or the bars that hold these prisoners, it's a natural and dangerous environment, in fact, the garrison here is much weaker than the average prison, and if something happens, we can't stop it with the strength of our guards alone, I sincerely hope that you will change this plan." Prison Warden Scott's tone was earnestly persuasive.

"They're crocodiles... I kind of understand what you mean. Harvey nodded thoughtfully.

"My theatre members may be weak lambs, but I think I can keep them safe."

Scott looked at Harvey in amazement: "What do you mean by that..."

"Mr. Scott, are there any prisoners here who are about to be executed?"

"Pretty much any one you see."

"That's good."

Prison Superintendent Scott asked inexplicably, "But I still don't understand what you mean." ”

"Not even the most hungry crocodile would be stupid enough to provoke a dragon, and if they are vicious, I only need to play a more dangerous role than them."

Warden Scott was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Mr. Adrian, I don't think those outlaws have anything to fear. ”

"Now it's there, I'm pretty sure. Please stay calm no matter what happens, Warden Scott, and I'll take care of everything. ”

Seeing that Harvey was still insisting, Scott Prison Director had no choice but to come to the place where the prisoners were held with Harvey, and combined with what Harvey said, he guessed Harvey's thoughts and used the lives of prisoners to establish authority in the prisoner group.

The warden of Scott did not resent this practice, and every prisoner held here was innocent, and the justice of the law was put here with great fervent mercy, and the mercy of sin was cruelty to justice.
